Outstanding property, and somehow exceptionally quiet for the location. Only reason it’s 4 stars - you have to go to the property management office to receive and turn in the house keys. The property has a combo lock key storage available, so there’s no reason for it.

This is the first negative review I have ever left and it’s hard to write. Key West is my favorite place to visit, as a Floridian nothing beats it! I am aware at certain times of the year the prices are higher but what is disappointing and frustrating is how the prices and pictures are deceptive. Let’s start with the smell of sewage and mildew, every time we walked in! No matter what we did nothing would kill the smell.Then we were attacked by huge flies -which we discovered were horse flies, dive bombing us in the shower. YES the shower upstairs became a graveyard of dead flies carcasses (pictures attached) - it was constant we had to purchase and install fly traps in the bathroom shower! huge sigh. The toaster doesn’t toast, the downstairs toilet rocks, and the king bed in the downstairs bedroom was too big for the bedroom door to actually open all the way!!! There was potentially a moldy patch in the downstairs bedroom ceiling- smell issue? The parking is definitely tight, the neighbors kept pushing in our car mirrors because the space was sooo small it was hard to walk around. While there are several good things about the place (decent pool) …they were over shadowed by the 7k price tag for 4 days and the lack of functionality & maintenance! The communication was off because I got texts and emails that the place was ready- we got in but then I got more after 2 days asking if we were picking up the keys! More Confusion because we were never told to pick up keys.

We take concerns regarding cleanliness, odors, maintenance, and guest comfort very seriously.

We have shared your comments with our maintenance and housekeeping teams and have conducting a thorough inspection of the property to address these concerns. We also apologize for the confusion surrounding arrival instructions and the follow-up messages regarding key pickup.

Key West vacation

This was a great house in a great location. We were worried about the noise on Duval Street but it was not a problem at all. Once you went into the gate of the house, the busy street of Duval was not heard from the house location and you could not beat walking out of the house and being at a perfect spot. We loved the pool and having two full bathrooms. We would rent this house again! Thank you for a great stay!
